My friend and I have been friends for 28 years... having seperated from each other more than once, one time for as long as three years because of a disagreement.We are stronger for it.
Its tough but people change and grow past each other.. and sometimes they do find themeslevs back in each others lives..
and if this happens with you and your friend, then great.. and if not. .you have memories of the time you did have together... and nothing can take that from you
